Becoming a Communication Studies Major
For additional Information Contact Dr. Brian R. Patterson

Assuming that you meet the requirements of the Department of Communication Studies for becoming a Major, there is some required paper work. During the semester in which you are completing the departement requirements, you need to go to the office (130 Armstrong Hall) and ask for an Application for Admission to the Major and an Intake Packet. Make sure that you complete them and turn them in during the semester.

This is incredibly important. According to departmental requirements, you must complete 36 hours (24 hours of COMM) after being admitted to the department. If you are admitted as a major after the first day of classes in a given semester, any COMM courses you take during that semester will not count in the 24 hours.

A flow-chart is provided which shows the procedure for becoming a major and acquiring an academic advisor.
